Premier league players who could score more goals than Alan Shearer

The Argentine’s career at City looked to be coming to an endupon Pep’s arrival. Indeed, the early signs did suggest the same as Aguero wasoften dropped with Pep preferring Jesus in his position. However, just as anygreat player would do, Aguero has fought his way back in the team and now looksan indispensable part. This season that has further become clear that Cityneeds their Argentine forward, with Jesus struggling for goals. His absence wasagain felt against Chelsea when City played with Sterling as the false no 9.Aguero has notched more than 150 goals for Cityzens since joining the club in2011. His new contract ends in 2021, when Aguero would be 33 years old. Thatstill has 3 seasons to go and if Aguero could get up to speed, he could breakShearer’s record.

2) RomeluLukaku

While it might not look like it, Lukaku is still 25. He has
been around in the English game for more than half a decade now that it feels
like the striker is at his peak age. But the reality is that he is yet to reach
his peak age. His current goal scoring run averaging at about 17 goals a season
does suggest that he might not break Shearer’srecord. But again it is worth
noting that the Belgian is still not yet at his peak age. If he finds the right
formula, he might just become unplayable and could score at the rate many
expect him to.

3) Harry Kane

The Englishman has regularly gotten himself amongst the goals
since his breakthrough season back in 2013, which now seems a moonlight years
away. Kane has since become a top top striker and has his name on transfer
shortlists of just about every top club in the world. Now 25, Kane already has
116 goals to his name in the Premier league. He averages about 26 goals per
season and a season or two with 40 goals could unleash Kane to a whole new
level. He looks like the closest Englishman to getting anywhere near the former
Newcastle star’s record.

4) Mo Salah

It would be fair to say that nobody expected Salah to reach
the heights he has reached so far in his short Liverpool career. The Egyptian was brought in as a player to take the load away from
Mane who had been Liverpool’s talisman a couple of seasons ago. However, since
his arrival, the situation has remarkably changed. In addition to his dazzling
runs, he has added a new dimension to his game with his regular supply of
goals. He became fastest Liverpool player to score 50 goals and has slowly once
again been among the goals this season. It would take a miracle, but again,
nobody expected him to score 42 goals last season.

5) Gabriel Jesus

Jesus has scored goals at an alarmingly high rate since his
arrival at the Etihad. It is just as surprising because despite his fine goal
return, he doesn’t get a whole lot of attention. At the age of 21, Jesus
already has 13 goals to his name but the only real concern for him has been his
fitness. His fitness has seemingly caught up with him this season as he has
found goals hard to come by. But he is still young enough to find his best
touch again.
